Why do a Route Card? Makes you plan your walk before you go, is it feasible?
All your calculations are done before you leave in less stressful conditions than you may encounter on the hills. You can also take your time to ensure they are correct.
To let other people know of your plans.
Leave a copy with someone you trust, and someone who knows what to do if you don’t return e.g. Family, Hotel, Guesthouse, Gardai.
Do not leave this information on your car window.
Make sure that you inform them that you are down safely, even if you go to the pub to celebrate the days achievements – phone them!!
Too many people have heard on the radio about a rescue taking place in the area that they were walking in, only to realise that they forgot to inform someone that they were down safely, and everyone was out looking for them!!
